    Thanks Doc. Will have to look into the online thing much more I guess. The chances are if you trust someone they'll do as little as they can for as much as they can. And you can watch someone as closely as you like, but if you don't know what the hell they're  doing it's not close at all. It's...

    Well it may be Mor**sons creme brulee... some of their stuff  tastes worse than how it comes out 8hrs later (not that I eat my own cr*p, of course).

    Thanks Kurt, that's great advice. I agree about the referrals. Most companies I know get between 50 - 75% work through customer referrals and recommendations. I hope I can eventually get to somewhere near to where you guys are.

    I'd suspect that that isn't the case at all. We can't just guess these things. And one statistic that isn't a guess is that the more money you have to invest the better chance the business will have of taking off. Usually a business with multiple directors starts off with a much bigger cash...

    Hey again Evans... it's not been a recipe for disaster for many. My old man's firm started out as a three man unit and they did very well and remained lifelong friends. Just looking through Company House there are thousands of successful three  men teams. Just look at PLCs, there are sometimes...

    Thanks for your reply Steptoe. From what you describe that guy was a selfish piece of whatever and if anyone I knew acted like that for even a week I'd smack the selfishness right out of him before he thinks he can get away with it. I've heard never work with children or animals, but not 'never...

    I'm sure it'll end up as a nightmare. We've already almost come to blows over the company name. My business partners are not the brightest sparks out there... I'm sure I could find a way to electrocute them in turn. Should get an insurance pay-out as well if we set up properly. Will be...

    Hey Everyone (sorry if this isn't the correct place to post in. I did have a good look down the list and didn't see a relevant forum and so  figured this was the best one to post in. But excuse me if it is not). I'm an electrician based in London and me and two mates (electricians also) want to...
